greg brannon is the tea party favorite for the gop nomination to run against kay hagan. he is running against an establishment-endorsed guy, tom tillis, who is the speaker of the house guy down there. it makes more sense for brannon to capture some of the energy that rand paul has tapped into, but not necessarily fill the legs of the stool, and rand paul has done an increasing job of doing that. also finding a way of walking the delicate tight rope where he doesn't offend too many conservatives, so this is a good blueprint to follow. >> to be honest with you, you have some on the right that have made no secret that they absolutely can't stand rand paul at least on his positions on foreign policy. i will give you a couple of examples, he will soon be running for office where your view of the world matters profoundly and his instincts sometimes seem more appropriate than a dorm room. quote, let's not mince words, this man wants to be the republican nominee for president and so he should be. because maybe what the gop needs is another humbling landslide defeat. and let's ta
